The Celtics dropped a tough loss the Pacers on Monday, falling 133-131 in a wild finish.
Here are the takeaways.
1. After the game, Joe Mazzulla told reporters he couldn’t wait for the Last Two Minutes report on Tuesday.
The reason? With 3.2 seconds remaining and a tie game, Jaylen Brown elevated for a jumper against a couple of Pacers defenders. Buddy Hield challenged the shot from behind and while he hit the ball, he also appeared to hit Brown’s head with his arm on the follow through.
The Pacers, however, called for a challenge and — to the shock of both Brown and Brian Scalabrine on the NBC Sports Boston broadcast — they won it.
